Summary
Chase has overhauled the Sapphire Preferred card with a record-high welcome bonus and several new perks, but there's a significant change to one of its most popular transfer partners that every points enthusiast needs to know about. Multiple transfer bonuses are also live right now across Chase, Amex, and Citi — some expiring within days — offering serious value for travelers with specific redemptions in mind. There's also a brief window to buy Avios at a steep discount through Finnair that could unlock some creative award booking opportunities. On the Amex side, some feared changes to the Gold and Platinum dining credits turn out to be good news in disguise. And one boutique airline is facing a financial crisis that should have travelers with upcoming bookings paying close attention.
